Electricity and Energy Storage
While the focus here is on storage after generation, particularly from intermittent renewable sources, any proper consideration of the question needs also to encompass nuclear fuel
The power sector needs to ensure a rapid transition towards a low-carbon energy system to avoid the dangerous consequences of greenhouse gas emissions. Storage technologies are a promising option to provide the power system with the flexibility required when intermittent renewables are present in the electricity generation mix.
Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time, enabling us to bridge the gap between when renewable energy is generated and when it's needed most. This technology has become the cornerstone of grid stability, energy security, and the economic viability of clean energy systems.
Storage technologies are a promising option to provide the power system with the flexibility required when intermittent renewables are present in the electricity generation mix. This paper focuses on the role of electricity storage in energy systems with high shares of renewable sources.
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
